Thanks I did not compile the start program. More hast less speed!!! 2. My program files I placed under a folder HPSTEL12\JCMCPS      The data files under folder  HPSTEL12\DBF      I then copied RUNTIME under the root.      Used the DBE installer to open my dbe admin.      named the HPSTEL\DBF = STELSYSTEM                      HPSTEL\JCMCPS = STELLOCAL I then ran PLUSRUN under RUNTIME. It started and then just stopped. Installed the dbase12 program and it worked. Thank you for the help. Cornelius
